This is the first book in the series "The Story of God's Chosen Family." This grade level covers Old Testament history from Creation to the prophet Samuel. Children are encouraged to follow the example of faithful characters, such as Enoch, Noah, and Abraham. They observe God's mercy at work, even with those who disobeyed God, but they are reminded that God does not overlook sin.

The Bible is the pupil's textbook. The workbook guides the pupil through the study of the Bible as he looks up verses and answers the questions. A variety of question types include multiple choice and filling in blanks. There are also vocabulary studies and other educational exercises on subjects like family lines, slavery in Bible times, and the Nazarite vow. One lesson in each chapter diverts from the chronological study to additional aspects of the Bible, such as observing Bible geography, dated Bible events, and using Bible study helps.

The pupil's book has 30 lessons divided into 6 chapters, a review for each chapter, and a final review. A test for each chapter and a final test are in a separate booklet with tear-out sheets.

The teacher's manual, bound with a durable cover, has a reduced copy of the pupil's workbook with the answers filled in. Oral reviews, main points, suggested memory passages, and other notes to the teacher are in the margins.
